“There’s skunks, there’s possums, there’s rats coming in and out all the time,” Deneen Muller said. “When you come home at night — I’m 60 years old, but you do go out — I’m afraid to park there, it’s nasty.”

The city departments of sanitation and health have both been out to inspect the property, but their efforts have only left residents frustrated.

The owner owes more than $9,000 in property taxes and Health Department fines, but he hasn’t lived at the residence for years and no one can seem to find him. Tax records list the owner as Andrew Wendling.

Health Department officials CBS 2 spoke with Friday admit the property is a health hazard and they’ve promised to clean it up themselves in the next few weeks.

However, residents in the neighborhood said they’ll believe it when they see it.
